What is in a Rhubarb Cinnamon Whiskey Sour?
Rye Whiskey
Rye whiskey is the backbone of this cocktail, offering a bold, spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with the warmth of cinnamon. Choose a good-quality rye that you enjoy sipping on its own for the best results.
Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam
Our Berry & Brine Rhubarb Cinnamon Jam is the star here, adding a sweet-tart flavour with a warm cinnamon kick. It’s an easy way to elevate the cocktail, providing both depth and a touch of sweetness.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice adds the necessary tartness to balance the sweetness of the jam and the richness of the whiskey. Freshly squeezed juice is key for that bright, sharp flavour, but bottled will work in a pinch.
Egg White
Egg white is what gives the whiskey sour its signature frothy, creamy texture. Go for fresh eggs and make sure they’re at room temperature for the best consistency in your cocktail.
Ground Cinnamon
A sprinkle of ground cinnamon on top adds a final touch of warmth and spice. Use a good-quality cinnamon that’s aromatic and fresh—just a pinch will do to enhance the flavors without overpowering them.

- 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice

Strain the mixture into a coupe glass or rocks glass using a fine strainer to catch any ice shards or larger bits of jam.
Lightly sprinkle ground cinnamon on top of the frothy layer. It adds a touch of warmth and a pleasant aroma.

Products used in the Rhubarb Cinnamon Whiskey Sour
Can I use store-bought rhubarb syrup for this cocktail?
While you can use store-bought rhubarb syrup, making your own with Berry & Brine’s rhubarb preserves adds a richer, more authentic flavor to the cocktail. The homemade syrup pairs perfectly with the cinnamon and whiskey, elevating the classic whiskey sour to a new level. If using store-bought syrup, make sure it’s high quality to achieve the best results.
What type of whiskey works best for this cocktail?
A good-quality bourbon or rye whiskey works best for this Rhubarb Cinnamon Whiskey Sour. Bourbon’s slightly sweeter notes complement the tangy rhubarb and warm cinnamon, while rye offers a spicier kick that adds depth to the drink. Choose your favorite type of whiskey based on your flavor preference, as both will create a delightful cocktail.
Can I make the Rhubarb Cinnamon Whiskey Sour in batches?
Yes, this cocktail can be made in batches, making it perfect for gatherings. Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you need and mix them in a large pitcher. Add ice just before serving to keep the cocktail chilled without diluting the flavors. Prepare the rhubarb syrup ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator to make the process even more convenient.
